Dr Neale was enraged by social media criticism of the 20 year-old.

Dr Neale said: “ Harrison is our 5th leading goal scorer and first in goal assists. A Peterborough lad who has come through our academy and not jumped to a Premier League Under 23 team deserves far better.

"I have seen lots of fans saying he is not good enough. Stats don’t support that. He will be massive for us next season.”

Burrows has made 35 Championship appearances for Posh this season. He has scored three goals.

Burrows has been credited with five Championship assists, two more than the next best totals achieved by Clarke-Harris and Joe Ward.
